Major Differences:
-Joachim cannot be Poisoned/Cursed/Paralyzed/Stoned
-Joachim cannot carry any items or Event Items (E tablet, Curtain Time Bell, Dragon Crest). Cannot heal during battle (unless a healing item is dropped)
-Joachim refills his MP bar by destroying candles and enemies
-Joachim cannot block
-Joachim is somewhat quicker than Leon. its most noticable in the Spike Rooms of House of Sacred Remains
-Joachim is given blocks and such to help him access areas Leon could (its seen in House of Sacred Remains)
-Joachim has his own Boss Music
-Joachim stays inside the castle when warping out. Rinaldo is not in the game to assist him at all.
-Joachim has no SubWeapon. the Orbs only serve to give him more strength.

The main thing is to abuse the Special (it can be seen on most any boss fight). i didnt do this nearly enough.

Joachim. make sure to take the Special Abuse only when you feel comfortable. its controlling seems to be treated the same regardless of whether the player thinks it should move left or right (i moved the analog left at one point and it went right). if ever there were a "luck" battle in the main game (Excludes Optional Bosses), this is it.

Walter. i see an error now. when he begins the "True Alchemic Power", use the Special and stay at his side. im sure it will not hurt you as you are invincible and you may get more damage off on him.

Death. execute one Special Early on ("Minions!" seems like a good enough time). another one should be easily gained before "Deadly Tempest" and executed when deemed appropriate. i waited until the end because i wanted to go out in a pillar of flames.
